Forsyths and Chethams International Piano Summer School
Here at Forsyth Music Shop we're busily preparing the 11 pianos we're bringing for Summer School participants to use. We're bringing 4 Grands by Schimmel and Kawai UK for use in various teaching rooms, 5 uprights and digitals by Kawai, Yamaha and Schimmel for practice rooms as well as a Yamaha Transacoustic upright and NU1 (pictured) for use in the Atrium.
The NU1 is an interesting creature - a digital piano but with a real acoustic action.... and therefore like any 'real' piano needs its action regulating to perform at its best. Come and pickup a map/list of new Schimmel, Yamaha and Kawai pianos to discover around the school.Meanwhile on our ground floor our Sheet Music and Recordings department staff are busily boxing up large quantities of interesting piano music to have on display in our shop in the atrium throughout the Summer School... along with our ever popular musical accessories and gifts.We are proud to be sponsoring/supporting the Summer School for another year and look forward to seeing you there. We'd also like to invite you all down the road to explore our shop on Deansgate and come for one of the behind the scenes workshop tours on the changeover day and the last day of the Summer School.We look forward to welcoming the first week's participants next Friday!
